South Lancaster.—The church at South Lancaster was favored with a visit from Eld. J. O. Corliss, Sabbath and first-day, March 27 and 28. It was a pleasure to meet with our dear brother and hear him relate the wonderful dealings of God with him, in raising him from a bed of suffering.

In the short time that Bro. C. was with us he delivered six excellent sermons. These were well appreciated, especially the one founded on 2 Cor. 3:18, which was just what we needed. We should be much pleased if Bro. C. would give us this sermon through the REVIEW.

After the regular services of Sunday afternoon, Eld. Corliss spoke briefly of the missionary work, and especially of the propriety of sending out the College Record with the Signs. Our brethren and sisters, seeing the point to be gained in this, subscribed enough at this meeting to pay for nearly 200 copies to be used for this purpose. This is another step in the right direction. Of the many young men who are determined to have an education, some of them, at least, may be induced to attend our College, and thus be saved from the effects of the tide of skepticism and infidelity which is fast creeping into the schools of our land, under the name of science. And in addition to this, they will be brought under the influence of the truth, and perhaps eventually become channels through which the light of present truth shall be borne to a doomed world. Now is our time to labor.
